SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 20, 2006 -- The LXI Consortium today announced that Geotest-Marvin Test Systems Inc. has joined the standards organization as an advisory member. LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) is a next-generation, LAN-based modular platform for automated test systems. As a leading global supplier of PXI- and PC-based test products, systems and solutions, Geotest expands the growing number of test and measurement companies supporting and promoting the LXI standard.“We are excited about the opportunity to join the LXI Consortium and work with other industry leaders to advance the standard,” said Loofie Gutterman, president of Geotest. “With customers in aerospace, semiconductor, telecom, medical, industrial and military applications, we are always looking for new ways to meet their evolving needs for fast, accurate and cost-effective measurement solutions. We expect that LXI will provide new instrument and system flexibility to help us address our customers’ current and future test needs.” LXI combines the built-in measurement science and PC-standard I/O of rack-and-stack instruments with the modularity and size-effectiveness of cardcage-based systems. With LXI, engineers are able to leverage their existing software, measurements and accuracy into new, LXI-based systems. The LXI standard provides a basis for long-lived implementations that are not limited by bandwidth, software or computer-dependent architectures.About GeotestA subsidiary of the Marvin Group (Inglewood, Calif.), Geotest-Marvin Test Systems Inc. is a global supplier of PXI- and PC-based test products, systems, and solutions.
